A phrase where both words mean the same ?

Past history. No its just the past or just history.

Close proximity. Both mean the same thing.

I guess, never knew what the term for it was though

Los Angeles means "The Angels" so the team is called The Angels Angels

I know what Los Angeles means. One is a CITY and the other is a TEAM so they are not the same.

You are incorrect. "Los Angeles Angels" is a textbook definition of a pleonasm. And yes I know Los Angeles is a city, and the Los Angeles Angels is a team

Los Angeles Angels is not a pleonasm.

I don't mind that you are mistaken.
